Beat! Drums!——W.WhitmanBeat! beat! drums! blow! bugles! blow!Through the windows-through doors-burst like a ruthless force,Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation,Into the school where the scholar is studying;Leave not the bridegroom quiet-no happiness must he have now with his bride,Nor the peaceful farmer a

ny peace, ploughing his field or gathering his grain,So fierce you whirr and pound you drums-so shrill you bugles blow.Beat! beat! drums!-blow! bugles! blow!Over the traffic of cities-over the rumble of wheels in the streets;Are beds prepared for sleepers at night in the houses?no sleepers must sleep in those beds,No bargainers' bargains by day-no brokers or speculators-would they continue?Would the talkers be talking? Would the singer attempt to sing?Would the lawyer rise in the court to state his case before the judge?Then rattle quicker, heavier drums-you bugles wilder blow.Beat! beat! drums!-blow! bugles! blow!Make no parley-stop for no expostulation,Mind not the timid-mind not the weeper or prayer,Mind not the old man beseeching the young man,Let not the child's voice be heard, nor the mother's entreaties,Make even the trestles to shake the dead where they lie awaiting the hearses,So strong you thump O terrible drums-so loud you bugles blow.<1.10>哦,船长!我的船长!O Captain! My Captain!——W.WhitmanO Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won,The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;But O heart! heart! heart!O the bleeding drops of red!Where on the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;Rise up-for you the flag is flung-for you the bugle trills,For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths-for you the shores crowding,For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;Here, Captain! dear father!This arm beneath your head;It is some dream that on the deckYou've fallen cold and dead.My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;Exult, O shores! and ring, O bells!But I, with mournful tread,Walk the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.<1.11>这颗小石子多么幸福How Happy Is the Little Stone——E.DickinsonHow happy is the little StoneThat rambles in the Road alone,And doesn't care about CareersAnd Exigencies never fears-Whose Coat of elemental BrownA passing Universe put on,And independent as the SunAssociates or glows alone,Fulfilling absolute DecreeIn casual simplicity-<1.12>因为我不能停下来等死Because I Could Not Stop for Death (Excerpts)——E.DickinsonBecause I could not stop for Death-He kindly stopped for me-The Carriage held but just Ourselves-And Immortality.We slowly drove-He knew no hasteAnd I had put awayMy labor and my leisure too,For His Civility-<1.13>那些——垂死的人Those-Dying Then——E.DickinsonThose-dying then,Knew where they went-They went to God's Ri

heart must pause to breathe,And Love itself have rest.Though the night was made for loving,And the day returns too soon,Yet we'll go no more a-rovingBy the light of the moon.<2.30>西风颂Ode to the West Wind (Excerpts)——P.B.Shelley1O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being,Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves deadAre driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,Who chariotest to their dark wintry bedThe winged seeds, where they lie cold and low,Each like a corpse within its grave, untilThine azure sister of the Spring shall blowHer clarion o'er the dreaming earth, and fill(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)With living hues and odours plain and hill:Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere;Destroyer and preserver; hear, oh, hear!2Thou on whose stream, mid the steep sky's commotion,Loose clouds like earth's decaying leaves are shed,Shook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean,Angels of rain and lightning: there are spreadOn the blue surface of thine aery surge,Like the bright hair uplifted from the headOf some fierce Maenad, even from the dim vergeOf the horizon to the zenith's height,The locks of the approaching storm. Thou dirgeOf the dying year, to which this closing nightWill be the dome of a vast sepulchre,Vaulted with all thy congregated mightOf vapours, from whose solid atmosphereBlack rain, and fire, and hail will burst: oh, hear!<2.31>歌A Song——P.B.ShelleyA widow bird sate mourning for her loveUpon a wintry bough;The frozen wind crept on aboveThe freezing stream below.There was no leaf upon the forest bare,No flower upon the ground,And little motion in the airExcept the mill-wheel's sound.<2.32>致云雀To a Skylark (Excerpts)——P.B.ShelleyHail to thee, blithe Spirit!Bird thou never wert,That from Heaven, or near it,Pourest thy full heartIn profuse strains of unpremeditated art.Higher still and higherFrom the earth thou springestLike a cloud of fire;The blue deep thou wingest,And singing still dost soar, and soaring ever singest.In the golden lightningOf the sunken sun,O'er which clouds are bright'ning,Thou dost float and run;Like an unbodied joy whose race is just begun.The pale purple evenMelts around thy flight;Like a star of Heaven,In the broad daylightThou art unseen, but yet I hear thy shrill delight,Keen as are the arrowsOf that silver sphere,Whose intense lamp narrowsIn the white dawn clearUntil we hardly see-we feel that it is there.<2.33>希腊古瓮颂Ode on a Grecian Urn (Excerpts)——J.KeatsThou still unravished bride of quietness,Thou foster child of silence and slow time,Sylvan historian, who canst thus expressA flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme:What leaf-fringed legend haunts about thy shapeOf deities or mor

tals, or of both,In Tempe or the dales of Arcady?What men or gods are these? What maidens loath?What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheardAre sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;Not to the sensual ear, but, more endeared,Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone:Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leaveThy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,Though winning near the goal-yet, do not grieve;She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,Forever wilt thou love, and she be fair!<2.34>灿烂的星Bright Star——J.KeatsBright star, would I were steadfast as thou art-Not in lone splendor hung aloft the nightAnd watching, with eternal lids apart,Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,The moving waters at their priestlike taskOf pure ablution round earth's human shores,Or gazing on the new soft fallen maskOf snow upon the mountains and the moors-No-yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,Pillowed upon my fair love's ripening breast,To feel forever its soft fall and swell,Awake forever in a sweet unrest,Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,And so live ever-or else swoon to death.<2.35>鹰The Eagle——A.TennysonHe clasps the crag with crooked hands,Close to the sun in lonely lands,Ringed with the azure world, he stands.The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;He watches from his mountain walls,And like a thunderbolt he falls.<2.36>难忘的往事Memorabilia——R.BrowningAh, did you once see Shelley plain,And did he stop and speak to youAnd did you speak to him again?How strange it seems and new!But you were living before that,And also you are living after;And the memory I started at-My starting moves your laughter.I crossed a moor, with a name of its ownAnd a certain use in the world no doubt,Yet a hand's-breadth of it shines alone'Mid the blank miles round about:For there I picked up on the heatherAnd there I put inside my breastA moulted feather, an eagle-feather!Well, I forget the rest.<2.37>天堂Paradise (Excerpts)——C.RossettiOnce in a dream I saw the flowersThat bud and bloom in Paradise;More fair they are than waking eyesHave seen in all this world of ours.And faint the perfume-bearing roseAnd faint the lily on its stem,And faint the perfect violet,Compared with them.I heard the songs of Paradise:Each bird sat singing in his place;A tender song so full of grace,It soared like incense to the skies.Each bird sat singing to his mateSoft cooing notes among the trees:The nightingale herself were coldTo such as these.<2.38>谁曾见过风?Who Has Seen the Wind?——C.G.RossettiWho has seen the wind?Neither I nor you;But when the leaves hang trembling,The wind is passing through.Who has seen the wind?Neither you nor I;But whe

n the trees bow down their heads,The wind is passing by.<2.39>歌Song——C.RossettiWhen I am dead, my dearest,Sing no sad songs for me;Plant thou no roses at my head,Nor shady cypress tree:Be the green grass above meWith showers and dewdrops wet:And if thou wilt, remember,And if thou wilt, forget.I shall not see the shadows,I shall not feel the rain;I shall not hear the nightingaleSing on as if in pain:And dreaming through the twilightThat doth not rise nor set,Haply I may remember,And haply may forget.<2.40>最可爱的树Loveliest of Trees——A.E.HousemanLoveliest of trees, the cherry nowIs hung with bloom along the bough,And stands about the woodland rideWearing white for Eastertide.Now, of my threescore years and ten,Twenty will not come again,And take from seventy springs a score,It only leaves me fifty more.And since to look at things in bloomFifty springs are little room,About the woodlands I will goTo see the cherry hung with snow.
